IMPORTANT NOTICE

The online distribution of OpenVMS and related product patches is being migrated to the HP ITRC (Information Technology Resource Center) patch distribution site. The new ITRC patch server will allow OpenVMS customers to take advantage of many enhanced features for patch searching and distribution.

Beginning August 1, 2003, OpenVMS and related Layered Product, publicly available patches will be available from the HP ITRC web site at

http://itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

The same patches will still be available from the existing patch server in Colorado Springs (http://www.support.compaq.com/patches/) through the end of October 2003, to give customers sufficient time to update their bookmarks and make the transition to the HP ITRC web site.

ECO kits will also be available by raw FTP from (ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/).

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARKS AND REGISTER ON THE NEW SITE NOW

Note: if you're having trouble connecting to the ITRC site, please delete any cookies for "itrc.hp.com" from your browser and try again. Report any difficulties with or suggestions to MrVMS

    ECO KIT SUMMARY:
    
    An ECO kit exists for the Print Symbiont on OpenVMS AXP V1.5 through
    V1.5-1H1.  This kit addresses the following problems:
    
    Problems addressed in the AXPPRTS02_015 kit:
    
      o Sporadically the queue manager signals an unexpected symbiont
        process termination and an access violation.  For example,
    
           %%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 21-JAN-1994 09:36:40.06 %%%%%%%%%%%
    
           Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on XXXXX
    
           %QMAN-E-SYMDEL, unexpected symbiont process termination
    
           %%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 21-JAN-1994 09:36:40.09 %%%%%%%%%%%
    
           Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on XXXXX
    
           -SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual
    
           address=00000000,
    
           PC=0001A540, PSL=03C00000
    
        The access violations cause all queues managed by the symbiont
        to stop.  Examination of the ACCVIO PC and symbiont dump file
        shows the ACCVIO occurred in an OpenVMS Librarian run-time
        library routine (LBRSHR).
    
    Problems addressed in the AXPPRNT01_015 kit:
    
      o  Printing a file with the /PASSALL qualifier generates corrupt
         output.  The corruption appears as repetition of characters
         in the output stream.
